Skulls trojan bites Symbian 60
p2pnet.net News:- Nokia 7610 smart phones, as well as other mobiles running Symbian Series 60 software, could be hit by the new Skulls malware.
"Skulls is a malicious SIS file trojan that will replace the system applications with non-functional versions, so that all but the phone functionality will be disabled," says F-Secure, going on:
"The Skulls SIS file is named ‘Extended theme.SIS’, it claims to be theme manager for Nokia 7610 smart phone, written by ‘Tee-222′."
The trojan causes all application icons to be replaced with pictures of a skull and cross bones. These icons can’t be used to start applications, says F-Secure, meaning only calls in and out will function on infected units.
The company warns users who get the virus not to reboot the phone, but to follow disinfection procedures listed on its site.
